【解析】

1.属于上文提示法,首句中出现ill,此选项应是ill的同义表达,故选D.sickness。

2.属于上文提示法,上句出现病情可以manageable,所以作者应该是享受那段过去的美好时光,故选B.enjoyed。此选项在2009年全国一卷完形填空部分第41题出现过,且也为正确选项。

3.属于下文解释法,下文出现发生改变,结合首句作者生病,可推出作者表达的是不幸的情绪,故选C.unfortunately。此选项为高考完形填空中的的高频选项。

4.属于转折对比法,上文出现yearsago和changed,因此推出此题应回归现实,故选A.now。此选项在2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第37题出现过,且也为正确选项。

5.属于固定搭配法,addupto总计,makeupfor弥补,补偿,getridof处理,摆脱,takeadvantageof利用,此题应选B.makeupfor。此选项考生不应陌生,2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第21题D选项曾出现过此词,可见背历年考题中的选项部分的重要性。

6.属于逻辑关系法,此法多用于句子与句子之间,解决连词的问题。此题因为作者下午需要睡觉,所以受到限制。故选B.As。

7.属于上文解释法,第三段首句提到作者打算做某事,但由于病情,下午需要睡觉,所以选择受限,故选C.choices。

8.属于前后照应法,上文提到过几年之前唱歌的事实,此处再次出现要去唱歌,故选D.goingback。

9.属于中文代入法,全家都是音乐家,所以走进音像店会被认出,故选A.recognized。

10.属于AandB法,这是并列结构,要求前后词性与词义要相似,几乎在每年的高考完形中都会考查这个知识点。本题and之前说东西很贵,之后理应推出没有足够的钱,故选A.money。

11.属于反义多一对,即四个选项中有一组反义词,答案多在这组反义词中出现。此题C和D构成反义结构,根据文章信息,故选D.often。

12.属于中文代入法,实际上一张光盘里的十首歌也只有三/四首可以用,故选A.actually。

13.属于上文提示法,上文中作者有提到过想再次唱歌的这个想法,故选C.idea。

14.属于同义辨析法,此考查点多在四级考试完形填空部分中出现,在2008年高考英语浙江卷第26题也曾考查过,当年的难度系数约为0.32。此题中的B.view强调的是眺望风景,C.look强调看的眼神,D.sight强调视力,本文店主深深地看了作者,属于眼神之间的交流,故选C.look。

15.属于固定搭配法,店主带领作者穿过拥挤的店铺,从空间穿过,故选D.through。

16.属于感情色彩法,此法多用于解决形容词或副词。下文出现treasure,因此可以推出店主对自己的宝物爱不释手,心爱地触摸,故选B.lovingly。

17.属于固定搭配法,takeyourpick,美国俚语,随你挑选的意思,故选A.pick。

18.属于语法识别法,近几年高考完形填空部分逐步淡化语法点考查,一般只会涉及一道。C.shouldhavecried,本应该做的事情而没有做,放在原文中过于牵强,而本题是作者受到店主的感激,非常感动,本可以哭但没有哭,故选D.couldhavecried。

19.属于寻找重复法,31题与32题之前曾出现onlythreetofoursongs...canuse,对应...couldsing,故选B.theones。

20.属于主旨概况法,即所选选项要与原文中心相一致。本文详细描述店主对作者的帮助,店主的善举感动作者,故选C.kindness。

考点:考察记叙文

点评:叙述作者在生命中不平凡的阶段受到陌生人帮助的事实,歌颂和赞扬人间真情和助人的美德。本文主要是测试学生综合运用语言的能力,即从语篇的角度综合测试阅读理解能力、词汇的掌握和对英语习惯用语的熟悉程度、以及语法规则的灵活运用。考生做题时必须时刻从上下文考虑,不应该只看到所添的词在短语或句子内是否可行。因此,在做题时最好将全文通读一下,了解了全文的意思以后再作答。

One day I heard that one of my dear friends had lost his mother. This made me sad, for my friend was very close to his mother. He had been by her side as she traveled through her long and hard journey with cancer. At this time, many memories about my loved ones that had passed away came flooding to me. Finally these memories passed, but it was really sad to think that my friend would have to go through the pain.

Three times I tried to write an email to my friend and three times words failed me. I am a person who is not often lost for words and I decided to have a sleep. Upon waking up I could hardly wait for my computer to work, the words I needed were there. I was still left with a heavy heart although I had sent an email.

Everything in this universe is balanced and indeed it is. Three days later, I received his reply letter. I was happy to hear that he’d been admitted to (录取) Cambridge University. It served as a gentle reminder for me that my friend would be okay and that life would go on.

Everything in life is balanced; the lowest feelings change places with the highest feelings. Without the lows, we would never appreciate the highs. No matter how dark the clouds seem to be, the sunshine is always there and just waiting for the opportunity to shine through.

Barditch High School decided to hold an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.

Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.

Then Ms. Yates started to speak:

“I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth your children, in my imagination.”

Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:

“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.”

“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”

There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

One cold night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco.There I was walking home around one o’clock in the morning after a   31  practice at the theatre. With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having   32  handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about  33  both acting and San Francisco. I had  34  too much of city life.

As I walked down the  35  streets under the tall buildings, I felt very small and cold, so I began  36  both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out  37  a few homeless people under blankets.

About a block from my  38 , I heard a sound behind me. I   39  quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me  40  so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I   41  what the noise had been. It had been my wallet  42  to the sidewalk.

Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk   43  for 15 minutes, my wallet was   44  to be found.

Just as I was about to quit the  45  , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to  46  . When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde(金发碧眼的) man with an  47  look in his eyes. “Is this  48  you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up something like a wallet.

It was already 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I couldn’t get much sleep, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some  49  of city life. I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place  50  people were willing to help each other.

Paula Radcliffe, chasing a third London marathon title, says she has became a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Games.

Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: "Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care less about criticism"

"In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me."

She didn't care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.

"Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn't spoken to me since last year and if she really cared for me, I'm sure she would have contacted me."

Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.

"In New York I wasn't in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race."

Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday's race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.

However, Radcliffe has not ruled out in the future chasing her "final" world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.

"I don't think that ——although I can't put a number on it," said. Radcliffe. "That changes from person to person."

Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance at some point in the future. Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.

Radcliffe clocked a time of 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometre race three years ago.

Afterwards she set a "mixed course" mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 in the 2003 London event.

1.Radcliffe’s failure in Athens made her___________.?

A. develop respect for Liz?   B. love people around her more?

C. rest for five months?      D. face criticism calmly?

2.Which of the following is true according to the passage??

A. Radcliffe broke the world record in the New York City marathon.?

B. Radcliffe didn’t fully recover before the New York City marathon.?

C. Radcliffe won her first marathon title in the New York City marathon.?

D. Radcliffe had a 3-month training before the New York City marathon.?

3.By saying “I can’t put a number on it,” Radcliffe means she’s not sure ___________.?

A. if she has the ability to set a new world record?

B. if she can win another race though she has won many times?

C. how many times a marathon runner can set the world record?

D. if she has the ability to produce four or five world-class times?

4.According to the text, Radcliffe has won ___________ London marathon title(s).?

A. one     B. two?             C. three          D. four

5.What can we learn from Radcliffe’s story??

A. Practice makes perfect.?            B. Well begun is half done.?

C. Where there is a will, there is a way.?  D. A friend in need is a fried indeed.
